Benefits of technology
The apparatus maintains beverage quality by dynamically regulating temperature and carbonation levels, extending the consumption experience while reducing energy consumption and preparation time.
Problems solved by technology
However this manner of cooling the beverage causes dilution of the beverage with water as the ice melts.
Another disadvantage is that in order to prepare ice cubes from water a significant amount of preparation time is required in order to freeze the water ahead of use.
The wine chiller requires cooling in a refrigerator or freezer prior to use, and cannot function without prior cooling.
All of the described methods require long term refrigeration of the beverage cooling elements (ice or artificial ice) thus also lead to excessive and wasteful energy consumption.
This form of cooling the beverage requires waiting a lengthy period of time prior to drinking the beverage, and the beverage cannot be enjoyed immediately.
These products cool the entire container, and require waiting a long period of time until the beverages reaches the desired drinking temperature.
In both cases, the process can take over 10 minutes for the beverage container to reach an acceptable temperature for drinking and lacks temperature regulation control.
However, this method also requires the use of ice cubes and is not convenient.
Such temperature regulation may require a long time duration, especially when the beverage volume is large and far from a desired temperature, and especially if the beverage container is exposed to ambient temperature.
The time duration required to cool a beverage results in the beverage losing its quality while the beverage container is opened or exposed to ambient temperature.
For example, the consumption experience of a beer is less than optimal once a beer container is opened, since the beer is exposed to air and the temperature of the beer is increased.
Once the container is opened these characteristics change due to exposure to the outside environment and reduce the quality of the beverage.
For example, once a soda container is opened or the soda is poured into a glass, the carbonization level of the beverage decreases as the gas escapes into the environment, causing the beverage to become flat.
In another example, when milk-based beverages are exposed to the environment, their acidity levels change and cause the beverage to become less enjoyable and in some cases harmful to drink when exposed for too long.

Embodiment Construction
[0038]The subject matter relates generally to a beverage sip regulating apparatus for a container, according to some exemplary embodiments.
[0039]One technical problem dealt by the disclosed subject matter is providing a consumer of a beverage stored in a beverage container the option of enjoying the beverage over a lengthy period of time, without the beverage losing its quality, for example, the beverage increasing or reducing its temperature.
[0040]One technical solution according to the disclosed subject matter is connecting a beverage sip regulating apparatus to the beverage container in which the beverage is stored. The beverage sip regulating apparatus regulates one or more predetermined characteristics of the beverage to maintain the quality of the beverage while the consumer drinks the beverage. For example the beverage sip regulating apparatus regulates a temperature of the beverage that the consumer drinks, a carbonization level of the drink, etc. The beverage sip regulating...

The subject matter of the present application discloses a beverage sip regulating apparatus connectable to a beverage container, the beverage sip regulating apparatus, comprising: an entrance port through which beverage enters the beverage sip regulating apparatus; a beverage compartment for receiving a sip amount of beverage from the beverage container; a spout through which the beverage flows out of the beverage sip regulating apparatus; and, a regulation system for regulating one or more predetermined characteristics of the beverage stored in the beverage compartment.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The subject matter relates generally to a beverage sip regulating apparatus and methods for regulating a beverage's characteristics.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Beverages are enjoyed at certain consumption characteristics, for example certain temperatures, carbonization levels, and the like. The beverage is stored and consumed from a beverage container, which comprises a port through which a consumer may drink the beverage. The consumer may drink the beverage either by drinking the beverage quickly or by sipping it so that the drinking experience lasts longer. The temperature and quality of the beverage being consumed is of high importance to the consumer and dictates the consumption experience. When a consumer drinks a beverage at an optimal temperature, the consumer enjoys the beverage much more than at other times.[0003]Some methods for regulating a beverage's characteristics are widely known. For example, a common method includes placing ice cubes...
